problems with xml snmp query and pf (i think (long))

Post by strgout »

This is the snmp query i've created.

Code: Select all

This is what i see from a verbose query.

This is a snmpwalk if it helps

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 10.253.254.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12325.1.200.1.3
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.12325.1.200.1.3.1.0 = Gauge32: 7
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.12325.1.200.1.3.2.0 = Counter64: 3409653
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.12325.1.200.1.3.3.0 = Counter64: 174169
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.12325.1.200.1.3.4.0 = Counter64: 174162

Check out the jpeg, that is what i see when i create graphs for that Data Query. I'm thinking its some kind of problem with the index not being picked up correctly but i've been fighting this off and on for a few days now. Any help anyone can offer would be great.

oh btw this is the error once i pick those 4 and click create

Code: Select all

Um....

This is a case where you shouldn't use a data query. But you might have to for the regex stuff.

What is the root of the OID tree of values you are trying to query? .1.3.6.1.4.1.12325.1.200.1? or .1.3.6.1.4.1.12325.1.200.1.3?

I'm assuming that .3 is the index value of this tree of items. I can only guess with out seeing a walk of the parent object.

As for the data query, well, the fact that the values are not all lined up leads me to believe that you are using the wrong index for the values. A data query is used to get a list of items that change per host. If this list doesn't change, other than the values, then this is not a case where a data query would apply.

ok, so no data query. Does that mean i can't use the xml file at all? Not a problem if so, i'm just not real clear on where to go from here. btw pf is a firewall package if that isn't clear (came from OpenBSD also ships in FreeBSD).

It looks like .3 is the root for this branch (or whatever the snmp term is)
pfStateTable OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { begemotPfObjects 3 }

I don't have access to do a 2nd snmpwalk from where i'm at so i'll do that latter tonight but maybe this can answer your question.

This is a clip of from the mib and the statetable tree. It should define
.200.1.3.[1-4]

Code: Select all

that url has a simple view of the tree. see pfStateTable


http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/s ... web-markup
That url is the real mib (full view).


Thanks so much for the help!
